January 8, 2014

Hello my blogging buddies. The new year begins on a very happy note: my sweetheart is still with me. I so appreciate all the kind notes and prayers from all of you.

The doctors hesitantly gave Hugh until early December, so we are celebrating each wonderful bonus day. He has no pain and hasn't been nauseous. I'm so grateful for our Canadian health care system and the daily homecare workers that come in to help. Because he is palliative, all medication and treatment are free. Hugh is feeling pretty good and gaining weight from the goodies from our friends. His newly developed sweet tooth got a good workout over Christmas.

I've painted very little since the diagnosis in April, but I did enter one or two paintings in a couple local shows. An artist friend has helped with the delivery of the paintings.

In 2014, I will enjoy the time I have left with my sweet spouse and now and then maybe sit down and put paint to canvas. Have a great year my friends.
